Quick reminders for community leaders

  • Answer the specific concern the person is asking about, rather than overwhelming them with too much information at once.
  • It's okay to admit when we don't have all the answers, but rely on solid evidence over guesses.
  • Always compare the benefits and risks fairly. Avoid making promises you can't keep, and never make someone feel silly for asking a question.
